Autopart

Powerful yet easy-to-use software designed specifically for the automotive aftermarket. Trusted by thousands of businesses across the UK, Autopart enables you to intelligently manage your core business processes, control your costs and generate new profit opportunities

What is Autopart?

Autopart is versatile business-management software that seamlessly integrates all of your sales, stock management, accounting and reporting processes in one easy-to-use package.

Designed by specialists that understand how your business works – and how to optimise your processes – the advanced Windows-based software is infinitely adaptable. It can be configured to suit your individual business needs, giving you a bespoke software system at off-the-shelf prices.

How is it delivered?

Autopart is available as both a traditional 'on-premise' solution (with servers located on site) and a hosted 'cloud' solution (with servers located in a datacentre). On-premise deployment is ideal for those businesses that require the flexibility and control of housing their own hardware, while cloud deployment lowers up-front costs and eliminates the burden of updates and maintenance.

Who is it for?

Automotive parts distributors, motor factors and retailers. From single site operations to nationwide multiple-site organisations.

What does Autopart offer?

Product and price management

Autopart allows complex pricing models and rules to be managed and presented seamlessly to customers at the point of sale. All prices and discounts are calculated automatically, simplifying transactions for counter staff and enhancing the customer experience. Special time-limited or product-specific promotions can be incorporated, alongside special trade, retail or customer-specific terms and conditions. The system can even generate profit and margin calculations for each product line.

Purchase order processing

The intelligent purchase order functionality of Autopart goes far beyond manual and scheduled order processing. It offers automated re-ordering suggestions, multi-sourcing and best-buy analysis to help you maximise profit margins for each product. Lead-time calculations and inter-branch transfers help to improve your ordering efficiency and ensure products are stocked at optimum levels across your branches.

Sales order processing

Enhance your counter sales and improve the customer experience with the advanced sales order capabilities of Autopart. Individually tailored point-of-sale screens, backed up by valuable business and customer data, give counter staff instant access to details such as stock availability, special promotions and alternative products, providing opportunities for simple cross-selling and up-selling.

Stock management

By automatically tracking your stock as it progresses from goods received to despatch, taking into account adjustments such as returns and credits, Autopart ensures that you always have an accurate, up-to-date picture of current stock levels. A range of analysis tools offers additional functionality, such as recalculating your minimum and maximum stock levels based on sales history and forecast demand.

E-commerce

Autonet online applications facilitate online trading throughout your supply chain. Web interfaces are available for both trade and retail sales and purchasing. You can even connect directly to the back-end systems of your trading partners, with our application-to-application solutions, enabling you to check stock and prices online, and raise electronic orders and acknowledgements.
